Good discussion, but I think we're framing the scenario differently in our minds. I picture someone snatching the child and running away - forcing you to take a shot at a moving target at X yards away. Again, you are the #1 shot in the country, so obviously you will make the shot. I'm just offering my opinion for the other guys here (not you) who might not be as highly trained!
There's no point debating a point blank opportunity, I'm in agreement there.
A) I don't live with my head up my ass, so someone snatching my child is going to have to try very hard.
B) If I don't shoot and my child disappears, she's as good as dead. You seem to be the only fool here who does not understand that.
C) Given B) above, I will do whatever it takes to stop the abduction. I will take a shot with 75% chance that my child will die, over doing nothing and guaranteeing her death.
D) Be a good witness? To what? to your child's face frozen in fear as she sees you get farther and farther away? F that.
There is NO way in hell that you could be a parent if your immediate response to seeing your child snatched from you is to call the cops.
As someone else said, anyone who screws with my child is in for a world of hurt, legal consequences be damned.
